Implementation of Epigenetic Variation in Sorghum Selection and Implications for Crop Resilience Breeding
FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE Crop resilience and yield stability are complex traits essential for food security. Sorghum bicolor is an important grain crop that shows promise for its natural resilience to drought and potential for marginal land production. We have developed sorghum lines in the Tx430 genetic background suppressed for MSH1 expression as a means of inducing de novo epigenetic variation,…
